PROGRAMME 


The  Church's  Great  Commission 


TO  THE  ELEVEN  IN  THE  UPPER  ROOM 

When  therefore  it  was  evening,  on  that  day,  the  first  day 
of  the  week,  and  when  the  doors  were  shut  where  the  disciples 
were,  for  fear  of  the  Jews,  Jesus  came  and  stood  in  the  midst, 
and  saith  unto  them.  Peace  he  unto  you .  And  when  He  had 
said  this,  He  shewed  unto  them  His  hands  and  His  side.  The 
disciples  therefore  were  glad,  when  they  saw  the  Lord.  Jesus 
therefore  said  to  them  again.  Peace  he  unto  you:  as  the  Father 
hath  sent  me,  even  so  send  I  you.  And  when  He  had  said  this, 
He  breathed  on  them,  and  saith  unto  them,  Receive  ye  the 
Holy  Ghost. — Saint  John, 

Go  ye  into  ait  the  voorld,  and  preach  the  gospe :  to  the 
whole  creation. — Saint  Mark. 

Thus  it  is  Written,  that  the  Christ  should  suffer,  and  rise 
again  from  the  dead  the  third  day  ;  and  that  repentance  and  remis¬ 
sion  of  sins  should  he  preached  in  His  name  unto  all  the  nations, 
beginning  from  Jerusalem . — Saint  Luke. 

ON  THE  MOUNTAIN  IN  GALILEE 

All  authority  hath  been  given  unto  me  in  heaven  and  on 
earth.  Go  ye  therefore,  and  make  disciples  of  all  the  nations, 
baptizing  them  into  the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and 
of  the  Holy  Ghost;  teaching  them  to  observe  all  things  what¬ 
soever  I  commanded  you  ;  and  lo,  I  am  faith  you  at  way,  even 
unto  the  end  of  the  faorld. — Saint  Matthew. 

ON  THE  MOUNT  OF  OLIVES 

But  ye  shall  receive  power,  fahen  the  Holy  Ghost  is  come 
upon  you;  and  ye  shall  he  my  witnesses,  both  in  Jerusalem ,  and 
in  all  Judea,  and  Samaria,  and  unto  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
earth.  And  when  He  had  said  these  things,  as  they  were 
looking,  He  was  taken  up ;  and  a  cloud  received  Him  out  of 
their  sight. — The  Acts. 

And  they  went  forth  and  preached  everywhere,  the  Lord 
working  with  them. — Saint  Mark.

It  is  my  deep  conviction,  and  I  say  it  again  and  again,  that  if  the 
Church  of  Christ  were  what  she  ought  to  be,  twenty  years  would  not  pass 
away  till  the  story  of  the  Cross  will  be  uttered  in  the  ears  of  every  living 
man. —  The  dying  veteran  missionary ,  Simeon  Calhoun.

FRIDAY,  APRIL  27 

“God  is  able  to  make  all  grace  abound  toward  you  ;  that  ye

MONDAY,  APRIL  30 


Alternate  Meeting 

(Central  Presbyterian  Church) 

“  There  are  also  many  other  things  which  Jesus  did,  the  which, 
if  they  should  be  written  every  one,  I  suppose  that  even  the  world 
itself  could  not  contain  the  books  which  should  be  written.” 

Leader,  Rev.  C.  F.  Reid,  D.D.,  Korea. 

TUESDAY,  MAY  I 

“  The  administration  of  this  service  not  only  supplies  the  want  of 
the  saints,  but  is  abundant  also  by  many  thanksgivings  unto  God.” 

Leader,  Hon.  S.  B.  Capen,  LL.D. 


If  the  Conference  is  to  carry  the  Church  forward  with  it  into  the  new 
century  in  the  “fulness  of  the  blessing  of  the  Gospel  of  Christ,”  it  must 
itself  be  lifted  and  carried  through  on  a  flood-tide  of  prayer. 

The  outposts  of  the  battle  line  of  the  Christian  Church  are  con¬ 
fronted  by  overwhelming  numbers  to  be  taught,  and  the  cry  that  comes 
back  to  us  is  for  a  ten-fold  reinforcement  to  meet  the  pressure  of  this 
appalling  host  of  men  and  women  without  knowledge  of  Christ.  The 
Conference  ought  to  answer  this  cry  by  arousing  the  Church  to  a  united 
forward  movement  for  the  permanent  occupation  of  every  unevangelized 
land,  by  establishing  stations  fully  manned  with  a  force  competent  to 
teach,  as  well  as  to  preach,  “  all  things  he  has  commanded”  us. 

— Letter  to  Churches . 


Rely  not  on  a  single  prayer  in  matters  of  great  concernment,  but 
make  it  as  public  as  you  can  by  obtaining  of  others  to  pray  for  you  ;  this 
being  the  great  blessing  of  the  communion  of  saints,  that  a  prayer 
united  is  strong,  like  a  well-ordered  army;  and  God  loves  to  be  tied  fast 
with  such  cords  of  love,  and  constrained  by  a  holy  violence. 

— Jeremy  Taylor,  “ Holy  Living." 


The  evangelization  of  the  world  in  this  generation  depends,  first  of 
all,  upon  a  revival  of  prayer.  Deeper  than  the  need  for  men  ;  deeper, 
far,  than  the  need  of  money  ;  aye,  deep  down  at  the  bottom  of  our  spirit¬ 
less  life,  is  the  need  for  the  forgotten  secret  of  prevailing,  world-wide 
prayer.  The  condition  and  consequence  of  such  prayers  as  this  is  a  new 
outpouring  of  the  Holy  Ghost.  Nothing  short  of  His  own  suggestion  will 
prompt  the  necessary  prayer  to  bring  Him  back  again  in  power.  Nothing 
short  of  His  new  outpouring  will  ever  solve  the  missionary  problems  of 
our  day.  May  God  give  it  to  each  one  of  us  ! — the  secret  and  sweetness 
of  unceasing,  prevailing,  triumphant  prayer  for  the  coming  of  the  king¬ 
dom  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. — Robert  Speer . 


No  language  can  describe  the  value  of  the  blessings  which  are  con¬ 
veyed  to  a  single  idolater  who  becomes  a  disciple  of  Christ  ;  a  thousand 
sources  of  sorrow  being  instantly  dried  up,  and  a  thousand  streams  of 
happiness  bursting  forth  at  ©nee  to  gladden  him. — Baptist  Noel.

CALL  TO  BE  A  MISSIONARY 

For  my  own  part,  I  have  never  ceased  to  rejoice  that  God  has  appointed 
me  to  such  an  office.  People  talk  of  the  sacrifice  I  have  made  in  spending  so 
much  of  my  life  in  Africa.  Can  that  he  called  a  sacrifice  which  is  simply  paid 
back  as  a  small  part  of  a  great  debt  owing  to  our  God,  which  we  can  never 
repay?  Is  that  a  sacrifice  which  brings  its  own  best  reward  in  healthful 
activity,  the  consciousness  of  doing  good,  peace  of  mind,  and  a  bright  hope  of 
a  glorious  destiny  hereafter  ?  Away  with  the  word  in  such  a  view,  and  with 
such  a  thought !  It  is  emphatically  no  sacrifice.  Say,  rather,  it  is  a  privilege. 
Anxiety,  sickness,  suffering,  or  danger,  now  and  then,  with  a  foregoing  of  the 
common  conveniences  and  charities  of  this  life,  may  make  us  pause,  and  cause 
the  spirit  to  waver  and  the  soul  to  sink,  but  let  this  only  be  for  a  moment. 
All  these  are  nothing  when  compared  with  the  glory  which  shall  hereafter  be 
revealed  in  and  for  us.  I  never  made  a  sacrifice.  Of  this  we  ought  not  to 
talk  when  we  remember  the  great  sacrifice  which  He  made  who  left  His 
Father's  throne  on  high  to  give  Himself  for  us:  u  Who,  being  the  brightness  of 
that  Father's  glory,  and  the  express  image  of  His  person,  and  upholding  all 
things  by  the  word  of  His  power,  when  He  had  by  Himself  purged  our  sins, 
sat  down  on  the  right  hand  of  the  Majesty  on  h.igh”—Da<vid  Livingstone . 

The  more  we  connect  the  missionary  cause  with  the  person  of  Jesus 
Christ,  rather  than  with  effort  and  organization,  the  more  divine  will  be  the 
inspiration  for  each  detail  of  the  work. — Miss  A*  Braitfrwaite* 

Now  I  believe  that  there  is  nothing  that  we  need  to  lay  such  stress  upon, 
not  only  in  all  our  work,  but  at  this  particular  time,  when  we  are  planning  a 
great  conference,  than  that  those  who  are  interested  in  it  should  have  anew 
the  vision  of  God  and  of  Jesus  Christ.  Personally,  my  enthusiasm  for  the 
work  of  foreign  missions  begins  when  I  look  into  the  face  of  Jesus  Christ. 
Until  I  can  realize  His  relation  to  myself,  until  I  see  the  beauty  of  His  charac¬ 
ter,  until  I  am  fairly  filled  with  a  knowledge  of  the  Master,  I  have  no  enthu¬ 
siasm  to  go  and  tell  other  people  about  Him. — Stanley  White ,
